Series: Curb your Enthusiasm

It's the "George Costanza" show or at least what one would perceive as such. Well, it's the "Larry David" show ... Larry David became famous with Seinfeld, since he was co-writer and co-creator with Jerry Seinfeld (although he left after series 7, having come back to write the last episode). We specifically know him well, because "George" is in effect his charicature and "Curb your Enthusiasm" really highlights it.

Curb your Enthusiasm takes it to the limit. Under the pseudo-documentary "look-a-like" genre, it goes the extra mile to make us uncomfortable... but still we laugh. For instance, the scene of the restaurant opening with the Chef with the Tourette syndromme will become legendary with time.

Ultimately, the whole concept of "improvising your way" through the dialogues is reasonably unique and makes it even more uncomfortable... and of course even funnier.

In summary, an extremely good comedy series. Highly recommended... but I sure hope you're not shocked easily.
